OMG, I didn’t watch the Baby Debate, but apparently Rick Santorum told the audience to “Go and Google me.” Is he really that clueless? ---

> [@foolsguinea](#): > > To be fair, in the whole “santorum” definition incident, Dan Savage comes out looking like a childish bully, while Rick S. looks like a victim. Only without context. The whole thing started because Santorum openly stated that the government should be able to stop consenting adults - and this includes heterosexual married couples - from performing perfectly safe acts in the privacy of their own bedrooms, simply because he thinks those acts are icky. Someone like that needs to be stopped, and Savage used the only method he had at his disposal. (As a side note - Savage didn’t even come up with the definition; some (straight) reader of his did.) ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > Yeah I don’t know about that. Gay hating religious nut attacking consenting adults doesn’t exactly scream victim. Unfortunately, that’s the pattern. Spew hate, attempt to deny rights to others, say the meanest things you can… Then whine pathetically that YOU are the victim when others respond to your hate. ---

I dislike Rick Santorum, but that doesn’t make Dan Savage a good guy, nor somehow not a puerile bully. Now anyone named Santorum is getting that label attached to them. Savage is not a class act. ---
